FWIW, quite interesting

His lawyer, John Mills of Jacksonville, Fla., said that Benitez and the others ``face the very real possibility of spending the rest of their lives incarcerated, not because of any crimes they may have committed, but because their countries will not take them back.''

And that our fault how???

Cuba has thousands of people who will spend the rest of their lives incarcerated because of their political beliefs. How is this guy different? Because he's a criminal? He deserves better treatment???

Wait a minute. The Bush Administration wants to use current Immigration law to indefinitely detain Illegaliens, but we can't use current Immigration law to deal with Illegaliens and the felons who hire and aid them? Something's extremely screwey in DC over the whole illegal immigration issue.

Personally, I hope the court issues a judicial order to enforce the entire Immigration code or throw the whole thing out. That would place those hapless advisors of the Bush Administration into a defensive posture over Illegalien law and maybe force President Bush to finally realize that, for some odd reason, we need that code reinforced and enforced - all of it.
